The Raleigh based national organization ALIPAC, will join with state groups NC Voice and NC Listen, to speak out in support of our local police, the Rule of Law, local enforcement of immigration laws, and the popular 287(g) program in Graham, NC on Wednesday as illegal immigrants and their supporters enter the town to criticize the Sheriff.

These immigration enforcement groups have a permit to gather from 2 pm to 5 pm on the 100 block of South Maple Street in Graham, North Carolina. Americans of every race and political party, who represent the 81% documented in certified polls as supporting local police enforcing immigration laws are invited. The illegal aliens and their supporters are expected to arrive at the same time, but will have no permit.

"Many of us have worked very hard to get the 287(g) and similar ICE programs implemented in North Carolina and around the nation," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Local enforcement of immigration laws can save American lives, property, jobs, wages, schools, jails, hospitals, and taxpayer resources from illegal immigrants with broader criminal involvement."

Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson and other police agencies have recently come under political attack from the ACLU and other "immigrant rights" groups that are launching unsubstantiated accusations of racism and racial profiling. Some of these groups plan to protest outside of Johnson's offices on Wednesday.

"These illegal immigrant supporting groups are trying to politicize our police officers with a radical agenda," said William Gheen. "We want our police officers to enforce all laws including immigration laws, when such practices make our communities safer."

ALIPAC does not expect the illegal immigrant groups to cause any trouble in Graham, NC despite the numerous documented incidents across America where their participants have been arrested and charged with crimes. However, Graham police officers will be on hand and the Alamance County Sheriff Department stands ready to assist if needed.

"These groups are known to get very rowdy and antagonistic in other parts of the country," said William Gheen. "However, we think they have enough sense to know that Alamance County is not Los Angeles."

On Sunday April 5, 2009 a Burlington man, William Bryan Barber, 43 was killed by a previously deported illegal alien named Lidia Monica Lopez, 41. Unconfirmed reports were broadcast this morning on WBAG's talk claiming that Lopez was leaving a Catholic church planning meeting for Wednesday's protests when the death occurred. Thanks to programs like 287(g), local police have an immigration hold on Lopez.
